for the ultra-minimalist window managers, I already posted mcwm (though it is a bit outdated now), its by far the lightest when statically compiled due to using xcb instead of X11 (X11 doesn't statically link well though tinyx11 gets us a bit closer)... and it has an ISC license ... some others xcb window managers are i3, uuwm, uwm (based on jwm) there is even a composite manager called unagi

Edit:
several pages back we were trying to find a way to use a running instance of a multicall binary to run new "applets" rather than spawning a whole new instance (the way ROX-Filer does) I think we had everything except the mechanism to get new args into the running process. ---Solved (I think, see the notes on apipe).

About GetGUI:
I modified somewhat, now it can recognize Dialog/Xdialog syntax and
...
Getgui's native options are not broken (I hope). Some default values are changed for my own needs (default fonts, button color etc..).
Also, a program name is changed to "xgetgui" to avoid copiright conflicts.

I went through and fixed most of the syntactical build errors, and tweaked the font and border settings so it isn't so fugly. Still needs a lot of cleanup though ... mainly how the functions and variables are declared... also made a build script.

Edit @PANZERKOPF, btw most of the fixes were not your code - just legacy stuff and from ripping chunks out of ploticus ... also I added the list of widgets to the --help (though I didn't put any order to them or descriptions or formatting)

I agree but seems this is not possible without completely rewriting an internal toolkit.
Unfortunately I have poor experience with X toolkits
P.S.
Another crazy idea about GTK1:
It is possible to make it UTF compliant or that is same as reinventing a wheel?
This idea was born when I found a clone of Athena Widget: Xaw3Dxft.
It supports UTF and Xft so If someone can improve Athena, why another one can't improve gtk1?_________________SUUM CUIQUE.

Gtk-xcb fits the bill (the one on sourceforge, not the one in gtk's git tree). It was forked right before the cairo dependency and uses xcb as the backend (will need updated for newer versions though). Ideally I would like to update it to work with pango-1.24.5 and latest xcb libs, and add maybe some widgets/functions._________________Web Programming - Pet Packaging 100 & 101

If you are looking for interesting ideas about a minimalist distribution take a look at tinycore

Thanks...I haven't followed too close the development of TC since I made this special version of pUPnGO: pUPnGO_V412_080211.iso running TC as topping. TC definitely is an interesting distro...but sort of lost interests after spending a short time on their forum...

Ditto on the toxic-caustic forum... That is what TC stands for right? I once had several hundred posts, but the constant mis-moderation convinced me it was as much of a lost cause as DSL (the main dev's former project), so I made sure to post all my relevant topics here (before removing all of my posts there). Tcl also stopped being simple a long time ago ... Puppy too, but I know puppy and like simple... so I try to make it simpler... Pupngo was already simpler, so I help out here when I can and the other more spotlight oriented devs cherry-pick from here and it slowly filters into mainline (not all, by any means... my init/xinit combo written in c is way oversimplified for a "standard" linux desktop but gets a basic gtk1 desktop in a 2mb kernel image). We test out these insane "impossible" ideas where experts would say it can't be done... It's a good thing we aren't "experts"._________________Web Programming - Pet Packaging 100 & 101

It is fascinating watching what you guys have been doing. I am glad you are happy to be in the engine room, and that you have stuck with Puppy. It is so annoying when some projects get overtaken by "ego", but that isn't happening here. Watching these posts is like taking a peek into the inventors back shed. Thanks.

...They have "Hero Member"´s too - did not find any heroine there though

Ohh and that wbar - looks so cool - even began to build a static version - starting with imlib2 and then remembered why I did not succeed in the past: wbar is cc/c+ or whatever.

But found another Easter-time-killer: beaver - quite mature editor with some syntax highlight and more modern mouse response that the gtk-version of mp. Attached a static build of beaver - only had to disable a font-style-setting to avoid segfaults in the static build bin.
